Test-Taking Tips
• Go to bed early the night before the test. You will think more clearly
after a good night’s rest.
• Read each problem carefully and think about ways to solve the
problem before you try to answer the question.
• Relax. Most people get nervous when taking a test. It’s natural. Just
do your best.
• Answer questions you are sure about first. If you do not know the
answer to a question, skip it and go back to that question later.
• Think positively. Some problems may seem hard to you, but you may
be able to figure out what to do if you read each question carefully.
• If no figure is provided, draw one. If one is furnished, mark it up to
help you solve the problem.
• When you have finished each problem, reread it to make sure your
answer is reasonable.
• Become familiar with a variety of formulas and when they should
be used.
• Make sure that the number of the question on the answer sheet
matches the number of the question on which you are working in
your test booklet.

Algebra 1 End-of-Course Examination Objectives
In Algebra 1, students build upon the mathematical understandings that are addressed in prekindergarten
through the eighth grade. Students will:
• use symbolic reasoning to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study
relationships among quantities;
• use functions to represent and model problem situations as well as to analyze and interpret
relationships;
• set up equations in a wide range of situations and use a variety of methods to solve them; and
• use problem solving, representation, reasoning and proof, language and communication, and
connections both within and outside mathematics.
In Algebra 1, hand-held graphing calculators are required as part of instruction and assessment. Students
should use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, graphical), tools (matrices,
data), and technologies to model mathematical situations to solve meaningful problems. The technologies
include, but are not limited to, powerful and accessible hand-held calculators as well as computers with
graphing capabilities.

width 6 ft, length 9 ft; Sample answer: Since the formula
for area is length width, I used w(w 3) 54. I rewrote
w2 3w 54 equal to zero. I factored the equation as
(w 9)(w 6) and set each factor to zero. Solutions are 9
and 6, but since width cannot be 9, the width is 6 and the
length is 6 3 or 9.

4 A student committee is in the first stages of planning the annual school 4 A

dance. They need to determine how much to spend on refreshments,
security, music, decorations, and printing for tickets and advertisements.
Other items to consider are the number of students most likely to attend
and income from fund-raising events. At this first stage, the best choice
for the committee would be to
A use mental math to get a rough estimate of expenses and income so
they can plan for fund-raising events.
B use paper and pencil to figure approximate expenses and income so
they can start purchasing items for the dance.
C use a calculator to compute exact costs of expenses and income so
they can hire security or a band.
D use a spreadsheet to determine exact costs to make it easier to

5 Joaquin manages a dive shop in Myrtle Beach. He believes that the

owner could triple business if she offered more chartered crews and
more scuba lessons. Determine whether Joaquin should use a rough
estimate, an approximation, or exact numbers to convince the owner that
profits would exceed costs if she expanded her business. Choose the
method he should use to compute numbers. Explain your reasoning. [5]
Sample answer: Joaquin should use exact numbers to
convince the owner to expand her business. The best method
for computing numbers would be to use spreadsheets. He
could use spreadsheets to calculate and show the exact cost
of hiring various numbers of employees, the exact numbers
of clients they would need to turn a profit, and the exact
revenue that would be generated from expanded services.
The projected income is approximate, but it is based on exact
numbers. Since he would be using spreadsheets, he could
easily manipulate the numbers to show the potential profit
depending on factors such as different levels of expanded
services and employee salaries.

Since five times the square root of 7 is less than 15, 18.52 is

the same mass each. Examine the model x 1
and then explain whether it represents the
situation. If possible to tell from the model,
give a reasonable mass for each of the 5 books.
Explain your reasoning. [5]
The scale models the situation. Sample answer: The scale tilts
to the left, showing that the mass of the 6 books is more
than 11 kg. Each side of the scale matches the problem. On
the right, a 5-kg cube and six 1-kg cubes add up to 11 kg. On
the left, 5 bars model 5 books with the same mass and two
1-kg cubes model a book with a 2-kg mass. If you remove
two 1-kg cubes from each side of the scale, it stays in the
same position. That leaves 5 bars on the left and 9 kg of
cubes on the right. If you match cubes to bars, there are
nearly 2 cubes to a bar. Therefore, a reasonable solution is
that each book has a mass that is a little less than 2 kg.
5 Suppose a penguin is swimming at 15 kilometers per hour. If the

penguin already swam 8 kilometers, how much longer will it take to

solution to the problem. The model can be of your choosing. Provide a
key that allows someone else to understand your model. [5]

1 hr 1 hr
15 swimming rate 15 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
1 km
5 5 km
The model shows that the penguin has 2 more km to swim

after 2 h. Since a penguin can swim 15 km in an hour, it
would take less than 8 min to swim 2 km. A reasonable
answer is that it would take about 2 h and 8 min for the
penguin to swim 40 km.

Sample answer: Since the system of equations results in a set

means that for any given number of shirts that are sold, the
amount of income from the sale of the shirts will be the
same at both stores. The income from one store will never
grow at a faster rate than the income from the other store.
Because of the promotional fee, the income from the online
store, for the same number of shirts, will always be $20 more
than the income from the Charleston shop.

5 Does the graph of y 9x2 2 change position when the value of the

No; sample answer: Changing the value of the coefficient does
not change the position of the parabola. The coefficient affects
the shape of the parabola. If the coefficient of x2 is increased by
2 on the graph of y 9x2 2, the parabola on the graph of
y 7x2 2 will be wider than the parabola of y 9x2 2.

Sample answer: When the value of a is positive, the graph

The graph of y 4x2 opens upward and the graph y 4x2
opens downward. As the value of a becomes greater, the
parabola narrows, and as the value of a becomes smaller, the

7 Mr. and Mrs. Secci own a bed and breakfast in f (x )

Beaufort. Past records indicate they can expect to 8000
rent rooms 200 times during the off-season.

Off-season profits can be modeled by the function
f(x) x2 200x, where x is the price charged 0 x

each night per room. Use the graph to draw
conclusions about how much the Secci’s should charge per room per
night to maximize profits. To support your answer, refer to the vertex
and x-intercepts of the graph. [4]
Sample answer: The vertex at (100, 10,000) shows that the
Secci’s can maximize profits ($10,000) if they rent rooms for
$100 per night. As they increase the price of a room to more
than $100 per night, their profit margin decreases until it
reaches nothing at $200 per night, shown at the x-intercept
at 200.

Summarize the steps you used to solve the problem. [3] I.D.3.
w is 12 cm and is 20 cm; sample answer: Since A w,
I substituted w(2w 4) 240 into the formula. I set the
expression 2w2 4w 240 equal to zero, and then
I factored out the 2 to get the factors (w 10)(w 12).
Since 10 does not make sense, I used 12 as the width and
then solved for length.

works out. If he burns 20 calories per minute on average and has already
burned 65, how much longer will it take to complete his workout? Draw
a diagram of a concrete model that represents the situation. Based on the
model, give a reasonable solution of the problem. The model can be of
your choosing. Provide a key that allows someone else to understand
your model. [5] II.C.4.
Student answers will vary. Models should represent
20x 65 300. Sample answer:
100 100
Key
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20

5 5 5 5 5
100 calories
20 calories
5 min 5 min 1 min
5 calories
20 100 100 20
5 5 5
The model shows that after 11 minutes, Hanot has 15 more

calories to burn. Since he burns 20 calories a minute, it will take
less than a minute to burn them. A reasonable answer is that it
would take a little less than 12 minutes to finish the workout.

77 Jae-Hwa is not certain whether 35 34 320 is true. Describe a pattern

Jae-Hwa could use to find out. Explain what the pattern tells you about
the law of exponents for multiplying powers that have the same base. Is
the statement 35 34 320 true? [3] III.B.1.
Sample answer: Jae-Hwa could use the pattern
(3 3 3 3 3)(3 3 3 3) to show that 35 34 39. The
pattern shows that when you multiply powers that have the
same base, you add the exponents. The statement
35 34 320 is therefore not true.
78 The data in the table represent the hourly cost to rent a rototiller at
Jake’s Garden Shop. If you graph the data, what is the meaning of the
slope and y-intercept of the graph? [4] II.B.2.
x 0 1 2 3 4
y 20 30 40 50 60
Sample answer: The y-intercept at (0, 20) represents the

minimum fee to rent a rototiller. The slope is 10 or $10, which
represents the rate of change or the cost per hour to rent the
rototiller.
